Robin McKinley was a favorite author of mine when I was in high school for her retelling novels of Beauty & the Beast, Beauty and The Rose Daughter.  (Both of  which are good, although I prefer Beauty.) I also liked Sunshine, a YA book she wrote several years ago that dealt with the darker side…

Back before our awesome redesign, I started almost every review with a comment on the cover of the book. Covers are important to me – they are, I’ll admit, 90% of the reason I often buy books and 90% of the reason I won’t buy one. I loved the cover of Prophecy of the Sisters,…

This marks our second day of giveaways and we have a very special treat. Not only is it an ARC of Beautiful Darkness by the equally lovely Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, but it’s a signed ARC. And two Beautiful Darkness gel bracelets! It had been awhile since I read Beautiful Creatures, and as it’s…
